Well, I guess I am down to posting only sporadically these days. Something to do with moving house, I suppose.
Anyway, if you go to the DC Direct site, you'll see that they've got something new coming out next year--then-and-now two-pack action figures. You get two of the same character, as depicted at the start of their career and as they appear today. They've got Nightwing, Catwoman, Joker and Batman on the list.
And while I don't particularly need Nightwing in his first costume, and while the Joker is drawn in so many ways that it's hard to be sure which is the original and which the current version, I am sorely tempted by both the Batman and the Catwoman. Particularly the Batman. Picture an action figure of first-appearance Batman. No, wait, you don't have to picture it, you can go to the site and see it. Awesome.
As for the Catwoman, I like the costuming but not so sure about the figures themselves.
Still, clever idea, and a series I hope continues on for a while.
